INTRODUCTION 



There is no reason why men should entirely usurp 
the field of physical culture, which during the past few 
years has grown to such vast proportions. Every normal 
woman has it within her power to develop a perfect and 
symmetrical figure, and there is absolutely no excuse for 
the crime of obesity. 

In arranging this book care has been taken to present 
none but the simplest exercises in order that the services 
of an instructor may be entirely dispensed with. 

Miss Gordon is to-day one of the most beautifully 
formed women in America, and what this system has 
done for her it will do for any one else if conscientiously 
and persistently practiced. 

A few minutes each day will show wonderful results. 

Exercise only in loose clothing so as to allow perfect 
freedom of movement, and in assuming the different 
positions keep the muscles tense and rigid as possible. 

It is not the attitude which develops so much as the 
strain placed upon that part of the muscular system 
which is brought into play by that particular movement. 

After all is said and done, there are only two simple 



rules for taking off or putting on flesh, and they are as 
follows : 

To take on flesh drink plenty of water — as much as a 
gallon a day. Eat starchy foods and spend eight or nine 
hours in bed. 

To reduce eat sparingly, take long walks, and spend 
but five or six hours in bed. 

Pages could be written on this subject and menus 
mapped out in detail, but the result would be no different. 

Plenty of fresh air and this series of exercises will 
work wonders within a short time.

BAG PUNCHING 



Bag punching is an art which can only be acquired 
by practice, but it is always productive of good results, 
and in the following pages some simple movements are 
illustrated and explained as clearly as possible under the 
circumstances. 

The ordinary bag punching platform is usually a 
cumbersome and expensive affair, and a good substitute 
— invented by McFadden, — advertised elsewhere in this 
book, is so reasonable in price and convenient to work 
that every woman who values a good figure and her 
health ought to own one. 

For a floor bag or a side wall bag nothing but a 
swivel arrangement is needed. 




Plate No. 23. 



PHYSICAL CULTURE FOR WOMEN. 55 



Exercise No. 23. 



After fastening the swivel firmly to the floor, strike 
the bag, first with one fist and then with the other, so 
that it will hit the floor with sufficient force to rebound 
and meet the next blow. It will take considerable practice 
to keep the bag in motion, but it is well worth the trouble. 




Plate No. 24. 



PHYSICAL CULTURE FOR WOMEN. 5? 



Exercise No. 24. 



This is the next step in floor bag punching. Instead 
of using both fists, the left elbow and right fist are used 
alternately, and then the movement is reversed by using 
the right elbow and the left fist. 




Plate No. 25. 



PHYSICAL CULTURE FOR WOMEN. 59 



Exercise No. 25. 



Here the knees take the place of the fists. To start 
hokl the bag in position with the hands and then strike 
it first with one knee and then with the other. 




Plate No. 26. 



PHYSICAL CULTURE FOR WOMEN. 6l 



Exercise No. 26. 



The foot movement brings into play almost every 
muscle of the body, and it will be found rather difficult at 
first to maintain the balance. The object is to keep the 
bag in motion by repeated blows of the foot. 




Plate No. 27. 



PHYSICAL CULTURE FOR WOMEN. 63 



Exercise No. 27. 



This is a combination of the knee and the fist in which 
they are used alternately. 




Plate No. 28. 



PHYSICAL CULTURE FOR WOMEN. ^5 



Exercise No. 28. 



The accompanying plate illustrates one of the primary 
movements in bag" punching, known as The Tattoo. 
Fasten the swivel firmly on a side wall where there is 
enough resistence to allow the bag to readily respond to 
the blows, and then strike rapidly first with one fist and 
then with the other. 




Plate No. 29. 



PHYSICAL CULTURE FOR WOMEN. 67 



Exercise No. 29. 



Here the ball is hung from a platform — McFadden's, 
for instance, which can be put up anywhere — and the 
pretty and efifective elbow and fist movement is shown.

PHYSICAL CULTURE FOR WOMEN; 69 



Exercise No. 30. 



This can be performed on any bag which is suspended 
and is a great arm and shoulder developer. Hit the ball 
a swinging blow with the right fist and then as it is 
about to rebound from the opposite side strike it with the 
left fist. 




Plate No. 31. 



PHYSICAL CULTURE FOR WOMEN. 73 



The result of physical culture. A group of well- 
formed young women who were at Madison Square 
Garden. Three of them were prize winners, and the com- 
mittee who selected them was composed of men who

ElecMciiy is Naiure^s 
Greatest TonicI 



But to get the best re- 
sults from electrical treat- 
ment you must have the 
right kind of an instru- 
ment and apply it proper- 
ly. Our batteries are con 
structed from the best 
materials by export me- 
chanics. They are oper- 
ated by dry cells, always 
ready for use, are very 
compact and durable and 
do not get out of order. They are used and recommended by hundreds 
of physicians. With each one of our batteries we send gratis a copy 
of "Suggestions and Directions for Treating Disease with Faradic Cur- 
rents of Electricity," by J. J. Mackey, M. D. This little book gives full 
and explicit instructions for using the batteries at home. Paralysis, Rheu- 
matism, Lumbago, Nervousness, etc., readily yield to the currents of 
electricity generated by our batteries applied under Dr. Mackey's 
methods. 

ELECTRIC MASSAGE. 

Electric massage restores tone to flabby skin, removes wrinkles and 
fills up hollow spots. The beneficial effects of the electrical currents on 
nutrition will cause thin persons to increase in weight very rapidly. 

A mild current of faradic electricity, applied to the scalp, will remove 
dandruff, keep the scalp healthy and clean and promote the growth of 
the hair. It will very often instantly relieve nervous headache.

HAIR. BRUSH 



Nothing is'J 

£0 attractive as 

a luxurious growth of 

^hair. It greatly adds to one's 

^personal appearance, and 

^when you consider at what 

^small cost it can be obtained, I 

wonder why so many men and women 

' have such poor hair. My brush will cure 

' falling hair, dandruff and all scalp irrita- 

[ tions. This is absolutely true ; if you doubt 

it, try one for thirty days — the price is but 

W $i.oo, and your money will be refunded 

if not satisfactory. 

Cures nervous heai aches and relieves 
neuralgia. 
The brush is made from a fine quality of selected bristles— ^no \^ ires to injure 




the hair or scalp. 



I could not afford to make this liberal offer if my brush did 
not possess merit. 



The Brush handle is made of a new odorless combination, resem- 
bling ebony; a combination of substances PRODUCING A PERMA- 
NENT ELECTRO-MAGNETIC CURRENT, WHICH ACTS 
IMMEDIATELY UPON THE HAIR GLANDS AND FOLLICLES. 
This power can always be tested by a silver compass which accom- 
panies each brush.
